And here was me getting all excited about a new puffer! Ach well - there's got to be one more to find somewhere. I can live in hope.

Could RHODA of 1864 be one? See http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=9856
A narrow-beamed (13½ft) 'inside boat', perhaps for the Monkland Canal? Her initial owners on the Clyde were the Jack family of Renfrew, and then both "Ross and Marshall" - before heading to Forth ownerhsip (via Dundee)

Hi David - yes, she certainly appears to fit the bill as a "puffer" and I will open a new page for her. I'll also take some time to try and find out more about her although I have to say that I can't have come across her in any of my earlier research - doesn't mean she's not hiding there somewhere though ! Many thanks once again.
